If you’ve never seen Conan’s “Clueless Gamer” series, today really is a great day to start. Nintendo has given the late night host an early look at Super Smash Bros., demonstrating that anyone and everyone will have fun playing this game.

While it will be good to see some serious, deep reviews of Super Smash Bros. when the game is finally launched, the best thing anyone can hope for right now is knowing that everyone who has touched the game at E3 is enjoying the experience. Nintendo is claiming an October launch for the 3DS version of the game and a Holiday launch for the Wii U version, so unless you are able to make it to a Best Buy this week your best bet is to soak in all of the great gameplay videos you can get yous hands on. Nintendo hooked Conan O’Brien up with an early copy of the game, and the end result is better than anyone could have imagined.

If you’ve never seen Clueless Gamer before, Conan dedicates a few minutes when a new title launches to bumbling through a video game in his typical self depricating and hilarious fashion. Aside from Conan being Conan, you get a great look at how polished the game already looks. Overall, it appears to be the same awesomely chaotic mess we’ve all come to know and love from this franchise, but the quality of the visuals and the details (like how the character who didn’t win a match will glare at the victor while clapping) point to the same amazing experience we loved in Mario Kart 8.

There’s still quite a wait ahead of us, but glimpses into the game like this one go a long way towards adding to the excitement and anticipation for Super Smash Bros.
